Without seeing the reality, I look through paint at my own intangible world in my paintings. It is from the urge to paint that i look around me. A trailer with tree trunks in Portugal was the visual source of inspiration for this painting. It seems as if the wood is in an in-between world. Once it was nature but right now i has no function and will be used fore something els. That world gives me an indefinable feeling. In painting I seek, with shapes and colors, the same friction and tension of this in-between world. My paintings are no question or answer to reality but an autonomous source: the painting itself. This painting was incorporating into the skate surface of a skate object and i skateboard on top of it leaving marks with the wheels. I see a similarity between the mental approach to the surface of a painting and a skate object. The brush strokes in a painting are unique movements and so are the movements that I make on a skateboard also a expression of myself. Skating on my work has taught me even more to let go of the painting. Although I start with an idea for a painting, I always have to anticipate on the painting itself. And although I make them myself, skateboarding creates scratches on the paintings which I have no control over. It is not my intention to invalidate painting but to show an important aspect; that a painting functions in more forms and contexts.

I am a painter located in Schiedam (NL) The paintings I make show that the world around us is full of meaning. Like Malevich and Mondriaan were looking for shapes full of meaning, I am looking for moments full of meaning. We understand images on a visual level, we see what it is being represented. However we don’t know the context of the image, they lack conclusions. We’re always left wondering why this is represented and think of a possible explanation. In the end we can only make suggestions, never coming to a definite conclusion. It is at that moment that we have to accept what we see. We feel that every day things hold a higher meaning beyond ourselves and realise that even though our eyes are open, we don’t always truly see the things around us. Looking at the world with an open mind and seeing what others passed by, things left unnoticed. Special things are always around us. Each place is unique in its own way. Every moment only happens once. Memories always seem different than the actual moment an event took place. Expectations can make us look differently at things. Others can make us see what we missed.
